One has most excellent opportunity to
study man as represented by the average
New Workers. Among the wealthy classes,
very many of them have the waxy skin,
dropsical flesh, and pulled eyes, that are
Indicative of serious kidney affection.
"B-igh1s disease is pla My written on their
faces. Since General Logans death the SUBJ
Ject OF rheumatism is being discussed by the
medical profession.
Every intelligent person, with any knowl-
Q lge of the human SYSTEM Is well aware that
II the kidneys are in good condition all I'M
necessary material is regularly carried of
by them. II not, various acids, such as uric
acid, one of the chief causes of rheumatism,
are left in excess, creating deposits hat cause
all sorts Of chronic organic diseases. 1t
would seem, therefore, that rheumatism, like
dropsy, is not diseas', but the result of a
disease, and it is safe to say that il the
st mach and kidneys are kept in h faithful
condition, there will be no deaths from rheu-
matism.
General Logan was well aware that his
disease was of the kidneys, and once ex-
pressed himself in indignant terms at the
folly of doctors treating him for rheumatism,
when it was the kidneys that caused his
attacks. The high living ard the excuses in
all things prevalent among wealthy men in
large cities especially in New York, is the
tocratlc trouble known as rheumatism, even
us insufficient and improper food bring about
the same results among the very poor
The above article, which we reproduce be-
cause of its general interest, is very signih-
cant. The public believes that rheumatism
is an effect of diseased blood, this disease be-
ing caused by uric acid or kidney poison.
Enough Of this is developed daily to kill sew
eral men, and if it is not removed by the kid
news as fast as formed, it gradually ruins the
health.
This fact is a scientific demonstration.
If doctors do not admit it, it is probably
because they do not wish to attract atter-
ton to the mena"e deranged kidneys offers
to the general health, since they have no
authori ed specific for these organs.
General Logan knew what his real trouble
was, and he recognized the nonsense Of treat
ing the effects-the real seat of the disease
was the kidneys. senator Sittig, of Illinois.
whose vote elected Logan Senator after four
months of balloting, tells us that Logan often
complained to hir: Of great distress in his
kl ineys. Disease Of the kidneys always
produces rheumatism, and besides that, it
cau'es paralysis, apoplexy, impotency,
stomach and blood disorders, brain troubles
female Complaints and countless other dis
eases which would almost never develop il
the blood was kept free of uric acid or kidney
poison.
These facts the public recognizes even
though medical gentlemen, for very evident
reasons, will not publicly acknowlos,-s them
lest, perchance, some proprietary medicine Ike

only scientific specific, will get the benefit
lie q such bigotry! 1t has been authori-
tatively stated time and again that there can
be no real sound health if there is any false
action Of the kidneys. Insurance companies
refuse millions of risks on this ground alone.
hence it is that there is such universal popu-
larity given to the great preparation named
"a popularity that is ba.ed upon intrinsic
merit.
Too much dependence upon professional
advice, especially in matters over which

How much better it is to be guided by an
